"How to See a Woman": A Great Blog Post

The Deseret News reprinted a blog post last Thursday from an Indiana pastor at Christ’s Community Church entitled, “How to see a woman: A conversation between a father and son”. I love the post, but I also love that the Deseret News reprinted it, particularly since it was written by a Protestant pastor.

I recommend it highly – and I am excerpting a couple of quotes just to show the general tone and view expressed in it:

“I know why you did. I get it. But we have to talk about it because how you look at a woman matters.”

“It is a woman’s responsibility to dress herself in the morning. It is your responsibility to look at her like a human being regardless of what she is wearing. You will feel the temptation to blame her for your wandering eyes because of what she is wearing — or not wearing. But don’t. Don’t play the victim.”

“There are two views regarding a woman’s dress code that you will be pressured to buy into. One view will say that women need to dress to get the attention of men. The other view will say women need to dress to protect men from themselves. Son, you are better than both of these.”

I could excerpt the whole thing; it is that good.

The link to the Deseret News article is below. I didn’t even check the comment thread, due to prior experience doing so with other articles seeing the extremists on both ends who tend to comment.
